It does not make me feel less offended, but it does become more understandable. The new game was their baby, not some stray that they adopted.And the preview books were just plain a bad idea in my estimation - charging just as much for an advertisement as had been charged for the each of the actual books for 3.0.My own opinion started as neutral, and kept sliding downwards as the months went by. By comparison, my opinion of 3e started as neutral, and rose as the previews came out.And the OGL was a thing of beauty to me. Had the GSL come out before the OGL I would not be offended, and would likely laud it as a good idea. Instead it replaced the OGL, which I still think was a wonderful idea.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
